One day long ago, mama picked me up from school 
           E5        D5                   C5         G5
She said, "Son, won't you tell me what's bothering you" 
         E5   D5                  C5       G5
I said, "No, mama no, won't you leave me be."
           E5     D5                      C5     G5 
She said, "Son, you know better than to lie to me." 
         E5      D5     C5     G5 
Did they hurt you boy, no no no no
         E5      D5     C5     G5
Did they curse you boy, no no no no 
         E5      D5     C5     G5
Did they mock you boy, no no no

Lets rewind the clock maybe 8 months ago 
         E5           D5          C5           G5
When the tracks of my tears were beggin' for snow 
   E5            D5                 C5          G5
My angel oh my angel what are you doing this for 
        E5            D5            C5             G5
She said I don't know baby I don't love you know more 
         E5       D5     C5      G5  
It's the way you dress, oh why oh why 
         E5       D5     C5      G5
It's the way you dance, oh why oh why 
         E5       D5    C5      G5
It's the way you move oh why oh why 

Chorus:

The devil he once told me you must stop this message son 
        E5             D5            C5            G5
I said didn't you hear Sammy babe a change gonna come 
    E5          D5             C5              G5
Now I will be the message my people need you see 
    E5              D5             C5         G5
And I will give my broken brothers sanctuary 
         E5             D5    C5      G5
But they will hurt you boy, I know I know 
        E5          D5    C5      G5
They'll condemn you boy, I know I know 
         E5       D5    C5      G5
They may kill you boy, I know I know 

Chorus:
